Chapter 34 034 This day finally came.

Tang Sijia and Lu Langzhou returned to Lincheng on the second day of the New Year's Day holiday.

Because they were busy with work some time ago, they were still tired when they were free, so they did not drive themselves. It only took more than an hour to take the high-speed rail back.

As soon as she got on the high-speed rail, Tang Sijia received a message from Song He, asking her if she had time during the holiday and wanted to go to the amusement park with her.

After Tang Sijia explained the truth, the latter quickly sent a lost emoticon, like a puppy with its tail drooping.

She smiled and put the phone away, not taking it to heart.

"Sijia, what do you think of this set?" Lu Langzhou put the phone in front of her, and a set of wedding photos were displayed on the screen. The wedding dress with a large star-shaped skirt was shining under the lights.

Before the New Year's Day holiday, Lu Langzhou solved the last case and did not take any new cases.

The two planned to take wedding photos on the first weekend after the holiday.

"It looks good." Tang Sijia looked at the wedding dress on the screen and nodded.

"The shoulders don't look very fitted." Lu Langzhou quickly found some minor problems and scrolled to the next group. Then he noticed that Tang Sijia was leaning forward, paused, gently supported her head, and let her lean on his shoulder.

Tang Sijia was stunned.

Lu Langzhou cleared his throat and said, "It's more convenient to watch it together like this."

Tang Sijia turned his head and looked at his slightly red ears, and did not refuse.

There were many people on the high-speed rail during the New Year's Day holiday, and the atmosphere was noisy.

In such an environment, Tang Sijia quietly leaned on Lu Langzhou's shoulder, looking at the groups of wedding photos together, and gently discussed choosing the style they liked.

Soon the two of them selected five sets together. Lu Langzhou was about to put away his phone, but Tang Sijia thought about it and suddenly asked him to send the photos to him.

Lu Langzhou was puzzled.

Tang Sijia smiled and said, "We are going to take wedding photos soon. How long are you going to hide the marriage certificate?"

Lu Langzhou's eyes were full of surprise: "Sijia, are you going to make the news of our marriage public?"

Tang Sijia nodded: "Do you want to?"

"Of course." Lu Langzhou replied.

Tang Sijia smiled, as if to prove something, and posted several sets of wedding photos to her Moments, randomly found a topic, and asked everyone's opinions.

Soon, there were several unread messages in Moments, most of which were likes from colleagues and surprised questions about whether she and Lu Langzhou were about to get married.

Tang Sijia did not deny it.

About half an hour later, Tang Sijia opened her phone again, and there was a like with a black avatar in Moments, but when she clicked on it, the like had been cancelled instantly.

Tang Sijia frowned.

This person was recommended to her by Manager Sun, who only said that he was a senior executive and might come to inspect during the project in the future, and asked her to add him.

However, this senior executive was a bit withdrawn, so there was no need to chat with him specifically. If there was anything, he would send a message directly.

Tang Sijia added him without thinking too much.

It was just unexpected that this serious and silent profile picture that looked like the one that middle-aged men liked to use, actually loved to like posts.

Occasionally, she would share some things about her life or work, and he would always see and like them within half an hour.

Later, Tang Sijia discovered that he seemed to be the same with Manager Sun’s circle of friends, so she didn’t think much about it.

Now seeing the message that the like was canceled, it was probably because of a slip of the hand, she thought.

After the high-speed train arrived at the station, the two took a taxi directly back to the Lu family. It was already past four in the afternoon when they got home.

Mother Lu looked a little thinner than last time, but still energetic. She had obviously received the news that the two had returned, and had cleaned the house early. There was a brand new tablecloth on the table, and cleanly washed fruits were placed on it.

"His father got a promotion and he's busy all day, pretending to be so impressive all day," said Lu's mother as she greeted the two of them. Then she thought of something and said, "By the way, your sister will be home tonight too."

Speaking of her daughter, Lu's mother was obviously very happy: "Now that she's the lead dancer, I didn't expect that she has more time to rest than before. So she came back specially. Let's celebrate together."

Tang Sijia paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded as if nothing had happened.

While waiting for Lu's father and Lu Langzhou's sister to come back, Lu's mother also showed Tang Sijia photos of Lu Langzhou when he was a child.

When he was very young, Lu Langzhou was fair-skinned, wore glasses, and looked gentle and refined. He was not much different from now.

"It can be said that he has grown up in proportion." Lu Langzhou joked.

He was much more relaxed at home than outside.

At 6:30 in the evening, a nearby restaurant delivered dinner to the door, and with a few dishes cooked by Lu's mother, the table was full.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after waiting for more than an hour, Lu's mother called Lu's father twice. After hanging up, her face was already a little ugly.

Tang Sijia sat on the sofa, a light variety show was playing on TV, canned laughter filled the entire living room, the room was heated, but she felt an inexplicable chill rising from the soles of her feet.

At eight o'clock, Mother Lu called Father Lu again, forced a smile at Tang Sijia, and walked into the kitchen.

At first, there was only a faint voice, which could not be heard clearly through the door.

Until later, a voice with suppressed anger suddenly came: "Have you been drinking?"

"When did you drink?"

"Socializing? Why haven't I seen you socializing on holidays before? I told you this morning that Langzhou would bring Sijia back, how did you agree? It was said that you were just going to say hello to those people, but you told me that you couldn't come back?"

"How many times in this period of time? How many times have you returned home this month? Every time you came back drunk, either smelling of perfume or drunk and crazy! Do you still have this home in your heart?" "

I don't understand? Lu Zhenping, you have to understand that I earn more than you now! You said you don't want to disappoint the trust of your leader. I didn't say anything to you. It's not easy for you to wait for this promotion opportunity. But don't you know what day it is today..."

Tang Sijia listened to the quarrel in the kitchen, which was gradually increasing, and her hands clenched unconsciously.

Until something hit the ground with a few loud noises, Tang Sijia's fingers trembled.

The next second, the back of her hand was gently patted. Lu Langzhou glanced at her, gave her a comforting look, and walked into the kitchen.

It was unknown what he and Lu's mother said. The quarrel gradually disappeared, leaving only a dead silence and a few low sobs.

About three or five minutes later, Lu's mother came out of the kitchen. Even though she had prepared a smile on her face, Tang Sijia could still see that her eyes were a little red and her face was particularly ugly: "Sijia, we won't wait for him, let's eat first..."

Before she finished her words, Lu's mother's phone rang again. This time it was Lu Langzhou's sister. She only said that the previous lead dancer was rehearsing during the holiday. She cherished this opportunity and didn't want to be replaced again, so she planned to stay in the dance troupe to practice dancing and not come back.

Tang Sijia's heart tightened.

Mother Lu still tried her best to maintain her dignity, but when she sat at the table and saw the sumptuous dinner prepared, her emotions seemed to have accumulated to an extreme. She put down her chopsticks and forced a smile: "Langzhou, Sijia, I feel a little unwell. You eat first. Just put the bowls and chopsticks on the table after you finish eating."

It was supposed to be a dinner for five people, but in an instant there were only two people left.

They didn't even have time to tell anyone the good news that they were about to take wedding photos.

Tang Sijia pursed her lips tightly, and suddenly felt confused and panicked.

"Sijia, I'm sorry," Lu Langzhou's face didn't look good either, "I made a fool of myself."

Tang Sijia came back to her senses and met Lu Langzhou's gaze, but a high and mighty figure appeared in her mind.

He was obviously not here, but he seemed to be silently controlling everything.

Did he know about the Lu family's situation a long time ago? So he wanted her to prove something that didn't exist to him?

Or were all these changes also his work?

That night, Tang Sijia didn't eat anything and went to the guest room to rest early.

Until the next day, Father Lu still didn't come back, Tang Sijia and Lu Langzhou booked a high-speed train ticket for the morning and returned to Beijing.

Unlike the nervous and expectant mood when they went there, the two were particularly quiet on the high-speed train back to Beijing, and no one spoke.

When they returned to Beijing, Lu Langzhou sent her downstairs, and when he turned to leave, Tang Sijia called him.

"Sijia, what's wrong?" Lu Langzhou asked puzzled.

Tang Sijia's lips moved, and after a long time, she whispered: "Langzhou, I'm sorry."

Lu Langzhou laughed: "Why do you say that suddenly? I should be sorry for you."

As he said, he walked forward and gently touched her hair: "You look so bad, you must not have had a good rest last night, go back quickly, you still have to go to work tomorrow."

Tang Sijia nodded.

Lu Langzhou smiled, turned around and left, and the moment he walked out of the community, his mobile phone rang. It was a message from his sister Lu Fei: [Brother, I'm sorry for breaking the appointment last night, and also say sorry to Sijia and me. 】

Lu Langzhou replied with a "hmm" and was about to put away his phone, but he noticed something the next second and looked at the previous conversation with Lu Fei: [Dad got a promotion, Mom got a raise, I became the lead dancer, you have more cases, and your sister-in-law is simply the lucky fish in our family! 】

Inexplicably, this sentence was suddenly connected with Tang Sijia's "I'm sorry" just now.

And... the last time he left the dinner, he saw the arrogant and indifferent eyes of the boy.

An absurd thought came to his mind.

*

Tang Sijia returned home. She had almost not slept all night last night and was exhausted, but she had no sleep.

She stood in front of the window, holding the phone tightly, and her mind kept echoing the quarrel in the kitchen, Lu's mother's red eyes, and the icy atmosphere.

It was completely opposite to the warm and loving atmosphere last time.

Tang Sijia pursed her lips, and after a long time, relying on her anger, she dialed a strange number.

The phone rang twice, and the call was picked up. The voice on the other end sounded a little hurried, with a bit of caution mixed in with the surprise: "Sister?"

"You did it, didn't you?" Tang Sijia heard his own voice without any emotion.

The receiver suddenly became quiet. After a long time, Shi Chuan's voice returned to its usual calmness: "What?"

"About Langzhou's parents," Tang Sijia's tone was rarely angry, "Shi Chuan, they didn't do anything, why do you treat them like this..."

"I gave them a promotion and a raise, isn't it good?" Shi Chuan asked back.

"Besides that?"

"Besides that, I didn't do anything."

Tang Sijia couldn't help but sneer.

Shi Chuan listened to the obvious questioning smile for a long time, and then he asked softly: "You don't believe it?"

Tang Sijia fell silent.

In the receiver, the boy's breathing seemed to disappear instantly. After an unknown amount of time, Shi Chuan calmly and patiently explained to her: "Lu Langzhou's father is a male chauvinist, and his mother has always been outspoken. Sister, you have met them, and you should know this better than me."

"I guess the result of sister and Lu Langzhou returning to the Lu family this time is not what you expected."

Tang Sijia held the phone tightly, and her fingertips felt cold.

Shi Chuan suddenly laughed: "You think their family atmosphere is good, okay, I agree with you. I just added a little variable to that atmosphere, even a good variable, promotion, salary increase, why would it get worse?" "

Even if there is no variable this time, there will be other changes in the future. If they can't even withstand this little change, and are so fragile that they can't withstand the beauty of a little wind and rain, is this really what you want, sister?"

Tang Sijia felt her heart trembling, and she couldn't tell whether it was anger or something else.

She felt that everything she had convinced herself before seemed to have become a bubble that was punctured at this moment, and everything became a joke.

"Sister, even though it's just for other men," Shi Chuan's tone softened, "but I'm still very happy that you took the initiative to call me."

Tang Sijia didn't say anything this time, and hung up the phone two seconds later.

That night, Tang Sijia had a dream. In the dream, she was trapped by dense vines as thick as her wrists. She couldn't struggle and was almost suffocated.

When she woke up again, it was the next morning, the first working day after the New Year's Day holiday.

As soon as she went to the company, Tang Sijia received a lot of blessings, all of which wished her and Lu Langzhou to get married soon.

"When are you going to take wedding photos?" Sister Wang walked behind her at some point and asked with a smile.

Tang Sijia also smiled and replied: "I may have to go on a business trip to the south in the middle and late this month, and I plan to take the photos this weekend."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Sister Wang was surprised, "Lawyer Xiao Lu is not busy? I thought you were going to take the photos during the New Year's Day holiday."

"He has finished his work and hasn't taken any new cases during this period." Tang Sijia explained.

"It seems that Xiao Lu is really attentive." Sister Wang praised.

Tang Sijia looked at Sister Wang's smiling face and the kind eyes around her, and her previous uneasiness was calmed down a little.

At least, she still had Langzhou.

The small family she expected, two people were enough.

But God seemed to be against her. In the next week, perhaps because both of them were busy, their contact suddenly became less.

Until Saturday, Tang Sijia was preparing for the wedding photos the next day. Lu Langzhou called and said that the law firm had a case to deal with temporarily, and the wedding photos might have to be postponed. He had rescheduled the date with the wedding photography studio.

Tang Sijia listened to his voice on the phone, opened her mouth, and wanted to ask him what the case was, was it important, didn't he agree not to take new cases before the wedding photos were taken?

But when the words came to his lips, they only became a "good".

After hanging up the phone, Tang Sijia was still a little dazed until Lu Langzhou sent her a text message explaining that he was preparing for a divorce lawsuit involving domestic violence and division of property. Only then did she come to her senses.

But when she saw the message, she felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something was happening.

Just like... the calm before the storm.

But she didn't wait for too long to feel uneasy, the phone rang again, this time it was Manager Sun.

Tang Sijia adjusted her mood and clicked to answer.

"Xiao Tang, two good news," Manager Sun's voice sounded trembling with excitement, "First, the filing has been passed, and the license has been issued."

Tang Sijia's mood suddenly relaxed, and the problem that had been hanging in her heart for a while was finally solved: "What is the other one?"

"The second one is that we have attracted a big investor. Guess how much the other party invested?" After Manager Sun finished speaking, he couldn't help but add, "I'll give you a hint, three."

Tang Sijia: "30 million?"

After all, the total investment in this drama is only 70 million.

"Three hundred million!" Manager Sun slammed the table excitedly, "Xiao Tang, you have brought us a god of wealth!"

Tang Sijia opened his eyes wide in shock: "Three hundred million? Manager Sun, are you sure you didn't add an extra zero?"

"I can't count zeros, and I don't even know the characters?" Manager Sun said unhappily, "By the way, you have time tomorrow... No, I heard from Li Yi that you are going to take wedding photos tomorrow, right?"

Tang Sijia's eyes darkened: "I have time tomorrow, and the wedding photos have been scheduled for another time."

"It just so happens," Manager Sun, who was in excitement, didn't notice anything else, "The investor wants to meet with the project leader, remember to say more good things when you get there."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Manager Sun quickly sent her the address of a restaurant.

Strangely, the restaurant is a pirate-themed restaurant, and most of the people who go there are young people and children.

Tang Sijia couldn't figure it out, and didn't think about it anymore. She prepared some project-related documents and prepared to bring them to the investor tomorrow.

Perhaps there was something she needed to be busy with, and her mood was no longer immersed in the previous anxiety, and she slept a deep sleep.

The next day at noon, Tang Sijia put on some light makeup and went to the agreed restaurant.

The waiter was dressed in pirate clothes, immersed in role-playing. When he saw people, he ran up happily and shouted, "Welcome aboard."

The further Tang Sijia walked in, the more she felt that this was not a good place to talk business, until an excited "sister" came, and she looked over in confusion.

Song He was wearing a white casual sportswear and waved to her excitedly. Opposite him sat a man in black clothes with his back to her, so she couldn't see his face clearly.

Tang Sijia thought he was a bodyguard, so she walked up and asked with a smile, "Hi, Song He."

"Why are you here..." Her voice paused when she saw the man opposite Song He, and then she smiled slightly and nodded, "Mr. Song."

She didn't expect that Song Xiuren would actually accompany Song He to such a place.

Song Xiuren, as always, wore a black shirt with two buttons undone and sleeves slightly rolled up. Seeing the obvious surprise on her face, he smiled faintly: "Miss Tang." "

Sister, we came here to eat and wait for you!" Song He explained actively.

"Wait for me?"

"Yes," Song He nodded vigorously, "You forgot that you promised me to go to the amusement park last time."

"But I came here to meet clients..." Tang Sijia was embarrassed.

Song He danced with excitement and pointed his index finger at his nose: "It's me, it's me!"

"No," he quickly denied, "It's not me, it's my eldest brother!"

Tang Sijia looked down in surprise and looked into the man's eyes: "The investor that Manager Sun is talking about is Mr. Song?"

After the words fell, she quickly reacted and looked at Song He who was still excited on the side, and understood.

No wonder Manager Sun said that she had recruited a God of Wealth.

Isn't Song He a living God of Wealth?

As if he could see what she was thinking, Song Xiuren didn't say much, but just lightly rebuked Song He who was still leaning towards Tang Sijia: "Hurry up and sit down, what's wrong with you for making so much noise?"

Song He responded aggrievedly, and did not forget to pull Tang Sijia to sit next to him.

Tang Sijia was in a daze during the meal, until she walked out of the restaurant and woke up when the cold wind blew: "Where are we going?"

"The amusement park!" Song He said happily.

Tang Sijia also guessed that they were going to the amusement park by looking at the direction, but she still couldn't help but look to the right.

Who can tell her why Song Xiuren would also go?

"Why?" Noticing her gaze, Song Xiuren lowered his eyes and asked.

"Nothing," Tang Sijia shook his head quickly, hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Is Mr. Song going too?"

Song Xiuren was silent for a moment, glanced at Song He who was excited and said, "The housekeeper is taking a day off, I'm here to accompany him."

Song He leaned over with his ear pointed, and was puzzled when he heard it, "Brother, if you didn't ask me..." Then he thought of something and blinked, "Yes, brother is here to accompany me!"

Song Xiuren retracted his gaze and looked at the woman who was one person away from him, "I heard that you were originally planning to take wedding photos today, how come you suddenly have time?"

"Mr. Song has heard about it too?" Tang Sijia curled the corners of his lips.

"Song He said so," Song Xiuren lowered his eyes, "did you have a quarrel with him?"

Tang Sijia was quiet for a while and shook her head: "... He is a lawyer and has been very busy."

"Yeah." Song Xiuren responded, curling the corners of his lips, "Song He is quite happy."

Tang Sijia looked at Song He who was walking happily in front of her, and couldn't help laughing from the bottom of her heart: "He is very simple."

However, the simple Song He entered the amusement park and seemed to have changed into a different person, like a pony that had run away from its reins, and he was curious about almost every project he saw and wanted to try it.

For projects that were not so exciting, Song Xiuren would just turn a blind eye. For exciting projects, Song Xiuren would glance at him, and Song He would honestly receive the signal and walk back silently.

"It's better for the housekeeper to come." Song He complained to Tang Sijia in a low voice.

Tang Sijia just smiled.

Now Song Xiuren is her big sponsor anyway, and she can't follow suit.

Until they arrived in front of the jumping machine, screams and cheers came one after another.

Tang Sijia looked up at the machine that kept going up and down, and the blood in her veins seemed to jump with it.

"Want to play?" Song Xiuren walked up to her without knowing when.

Before Tang Sijia responded, Song He nodded vigorously: "Yes."

Song Xiuren glanced at him: "You can't."

Song He opened his eyes wide: "Why? Big brother, I'm grown up, half a head taller than my sister..."

Tang Sijia, who was inexplicably used as a reference, was silent and shook his head: "Forget it."

Song Xiuren paused: "Song He's brain is very sensitive to some stimulating things, and it is difficult for him to forget some not so pleasant experiences on his own, so he can't play."

Tang Sijia was a little surprised. Song Xiuren seemed to be explaining to her.

But before she could think about it, the phone rang.

Tang Sijia smiled apologetically and walked aside to answer the phone.

It was Lu's mother who called to apologize for the New Year's Day holiday and asked about her and Lu Langzhou's wedding photos.

Tang Sijia told the truth and chatted with Lu's mother for a while. When she returned to the jumping machine, Song He had already gone to the aerial swivel chair next door, and Song Xiuren was standing there quietly.

Tang Sijia walked forward and stood one meter away.

"Client?" Song Xiuren asked casually with a sidelong glance.

Tang Sijia hesitated for a moment before saying, "My husband's mother."

Song Xiuren retracted his gaze: "Persuading reconciliation?"

Tang Sijia was puzzled at first, but then reacted and smiled: "Actually, we are not quarreling."

Song Xiuren was silent for a while and responded in a low voice: "... Yeah."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and a little awkward for a while.

"Mr. Song, can I ask you a question?" Tang Sijia looked at Song He who was having fun and asked.

"You ask."

"Why did you invest 300 million in a project whose team is not famous?"

Even if it was for Song He, 300 million was still too much.

After experiencing the initial joy, she began to enter a stage of anxiety and panic, fearing that no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to live up to such a large investment.

Song Xiuren looked at her: "Do you know how much money I had when I started my business?"

Tang Sijia shook her head in confusion.

"Only 3 million, including the 7 million I brought in, all invested in Phantom," Song Xiuren curved the corners of his lips, "I like the feeling of burning my boats, and fortunately, I win every time."

"So, Tang Sijia, I hope you don't let me lose this time."

*

Hans Group Headquarters.

The assistant beside Shi Chuan clearly saw that the young master was in a good mood recently.

The cold and creepy look some time ago, finally had a little smile these days, which was more obvious than when he signed the billions of orders.

Thinking of the confused and dark look in the eyes of this young master when he suddenly asked him "What does it mean for a person to post wedding photos on WeChat Moments" one day some time ago, the assistant was now scared.

The assistant had also asked him why he was happy when he was in a good mood.

He said that he had a bet with someone, and the bet was the most expensive treasure in the world.

Now, he is going to win the bet.

When he said this, there was excitement and enthusiasm in his eyes, and even a little shyness and innocence, which really looked like a teenager of his age.

The assistant was puzzled. After all, Shi Chuan was the heir to the group, which was a foregone conclusion. What treasure could this young master not get?

But he didn't ask much.

The assistant picked up the signed document and looked at the boy behind the desk: "Mr. Shi, the chairman asked me to remind you that at 6:45 tonight, there will be a report on Hansi on the financial channel."

Shi Chuan responded, and the assistant walked out quickly.

In an instant, he was the only one left in the huge office.

Shi Chuan stood up, walked to the French window, and turned on the TV next to him.

The financial channel was broadcasting that he had signed a cooperation agreement with relevant departments on the city management AI platform some time ago, and bluntly analyzed that he had great ambitions and wanted to replace Jiang Huaian during his tenure.

Shi Chuan knew very well that this was Jiang Huaian reminding him that he was paying attention to his every move.

Shi Chuan sneered and looked downstairs quietly, guessing what Tang Sijia was doing at this time. He had just seen her not long ago, but he seemed to want to see her again.

"Phantom Technology President Song Xiuren talked about the opposite sex for the first time, and the fate began three years ago?" On TV, I don't know when it changed to another news.

Hearing the familiar name, Shi Chuan came back to his senses and glanced at the TV screen.

But that is to say, as the most concerned diamond bachelor with a love life, Song Xiuren talked about the most interesting encounter with the opposite sex at a dinner three years ago...

Shi Chuan retracted his gaze without interest, and the internal line happened to ring, and he pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Shi, there is a gentleman named Lu Langzhou who wants to see you."

The moment Shi Chuan heard this, his fingertips paused slightly, and his heart trembled.

Although it was later than he expected, it finally came.

Soon, she and he would return to the time before, without any obstacles.

Shi Chuan lowered his eyes: "Ten minutes later, ask him to come to my office."
